Adventures of Chris is a traditionally hand-animated adventure platformer starring an overweight, nerdy 7th-grader with an eternally enthusiastic disposition. When he gets kidnapped by a whiny child vampire and transformed into a helium balloon as a joke, he reinterprets his transformation as a superpower and floats off on a globe-trotting adventure to save other kidnapped kids. Chris finds himself exploring a whole universe of Saturday-morning-style villains, magic, mutants, and superpowers around the world, recalling the television and games of the 90's, when the emotionally serious and the seriously wacky comfortably coexisted.

Last year I developed a platformer in a retro, 16-bit style that I released for a few Android microconsoles. Earlier this year the game was greenlit on Steam, and I'd love to revamp the graphics to an HD style. My ideal style would be something similar to Wayforward's Shantae series - bright and cartoony.
You can see the current teaser and screenshots for the game over at Ouya.tv
If you're interested, I will send you a detailed spreadsheet of the minimum required game assets (including character sprites, backgrounds, UI elements, etc.) Make sure to note in your email if you're only interested in handling a part of the assets - sprite animations, backgrounds, platform tiles and building-blocks, UI, etc. Any traditional 2D animation experience would be a fantastic plus for anyone interested in doing the sprites!
I have no particular deadlines and am willing to work within your schedule - just make sure to let me know what to expect!
If I'm interested in your proposal I will want to commission a small sample to see how well we work together and get a feel for the process.
To Apply
Email Chris Guin at imaginer01@gmail.com with links to (or attached) appropriate work samples as well as any relevant work history, and I will send you the requirements document, along with other materials.
